In the following for the sake of an easier understanding some fictitious UDDF files are given.
Many comments (beginning with "

<!--

", and ending with "

-->

") are
inserted. Usually, the parameters are put in brackets, for example with

<city>Atown</city>

the city "Atown" is denoted. Some elements are implemented as a switch.

<acknowledge/>

e.g. defines that the diver has to acknowledge an alarm given by the
dive computer.

Only a little selection of elements is given to not make the examples too long, and to
keep them understandable. Indentations are made for humans only for the sake of better
clearness. A machine made UDDF file needs not to have these indentations. Nevertheless,
the authors strongly recommend indentations for computer generated UDDF files, too! By this
readability is enhanced.

In the descriptions of the individual elements partly detailed examples are given.
